"By the way, Ferdinand, my fiancée Ulaka must be seven or eight years old, and I would like to take her to Normandy to be educated by my Count Hubert, Count Adolf, and Steward of Osborne, and to train her to be a talented noblewoman." William stopped, turned to look at Ferdinand I and said.

"This..."Ferdinand I was quite hesitant in his heart, he was hesitant about William's proposal, on the one hand, he did not want his beloved daughter to leave him, and on the other hand, William was his most important ally and quasi-son-in-law, no matter what, he could not refuse, so he was very hesitant in his heart.

Seeing Ferdinand I's hesitant look, William immediately continued to persuade: "Ferdinand, my Count Hubert is the most famous general in the whole of France, and the Count of Adolf and the Steward of Osborne are also very outstanding treasurers and treasurers. ”

Hearing William's words, Ferdinand I was quite moved, hesitated for a moment before looking at William and said: "It's not that I don't want Uraca to go to Normandy to get a better education, it's that my wife Sancha is more than eight months pregnant, and my daughter needs to be by her mother's side, and she really can't leave." ”

"Ferdinand, congratulations, I think you're going to have a son soon, and he's sure to be a healthy boy." Since Uraka's mother was pregnant and she could not leave, William did not dwell on this issue and immediately congratulated Ferdinand I.

"Hahaha, take your good word, William. After my wife has given birth, after a while, I will surely send Uraca to Normandy to be educated by the Counts of Hubert and Adolf. Ferdinand I was delighted and immediately acceded to William's request.

"Then thank you, Ferdinand, we will have to support each other more in the future, as long as you need it, I can lend you a hundred thousand pounds of silver, which can be repaid with horses, slaves, booty, Spanish sheep, iron ore, coal, etc., no matter how much I will buy, and promise you a fair price. At the same time, I guarantee that weapons, armor and other goods here will be supplied to Castile and Leon on a priority basis, ensuring high quantity and high quality. William also smiled, promising Ferdinand I some benefits.

"That's a great help, with William here, I don't have to worry about it. I am here to assure you that whenever you need it, no matter who you are facing, I and my Castille knights will stand by your side and do everything in our power to help you. The more Ferdinand looked at his son-in-law-to-be, the more pleasing he became, and immediately patted his chest and reassured.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ferdinand." William respectfully thanked Ferdinand and said, "I have a matter here that I would like to ask you to help with." I would like to hold a joint military parade with your army, right in front of this Citi Castle, and invite Henry I to come and watch. ”

"You want to use this way to deter Henry I, right, it's a good way, I accept it, and I will do as you say." Ferdinand nodded in agreement.

After the two had agreed, they said goodbye to each other, and each returned to his army station to begin organizing elite troops to participate in a joint military parade.

As the organizer of the parade, William was responsible for directing the militia to build a viewing platform, and sent an envoy to invite Henry I to come to the ceremony.

Although Henry I knew that William was demonstrating to himself and showing him the strength and strength of the alliance between Normandy and Castile, as the king of France, Henry I could not show his timidity in front of others, because he knew that for him after the crushing defeat of William, the deterrence given by the crown of the king of France was his last reliance, and he could not have any cowardice.

"Go back and tell William that I'll be there on time tomorrow at noon." Henry I replied to William's messenger without humility or arrogance.

After listening to the envoy's report, William had to praise Henry I for his good courage, but he was even more wary of him, and made up his mind to deal a devastating blow to the other side in the next war.

Click... Da Da... Click... Da Da... Click... Click...

William and Earl Hubert and the Guards cavalry just arrived at the scene, and dozens of musicians arranged on both sides of the huge viewing platform sounded the passionate music with brass trumpets, and with the honor guards holding flags on both sides, dozens of flags embroidered with the red and gold double lion coat of arms of the Duchy of Normandy fluttered in the wind, looking a unique majestic momentum.

Immediately after William was the Knight of the Guards of Castile, to whom Ferdinand I belonged, more elite than the noble knight that William had seen yesterday, and it seemed that William's father-in-law still had a hand in his hands.

The twenty tall knights of the guard in the front row, each holding the golden castle banner on a red background, rode their horses high, and the wind blew away the red banner and waved it in the wind.

It was only after the nobles and knights of the Guards under William and Ferdinand I entered the viewing platform that Henry I's procession was late.

This team is composed of only more than 30 knights, compared to William and Ferdinand I's personal guards, whether it is the size of the team, the degree of equipment, or the spirit of the knights, Henry I's personal guard cavalry is extremely shabby, except for the blue and gold lily banner they hold in their hands and shows the prestige of the Capet family of the French royal family, everything else is lost in the eyes of everyone.

Feeling the dazzling eyes, Henry I was very calm, without the slightest irritation, what he wanted to do most now was to keep the Capet family's rule over France, and then take revenge on William, as for all other disdain or other eyes he didn't care about.

William, who was sitting on the viewing platform, looked at Henry I, and noticed Henry I's calm demeanor, and couldn't help treating him as his great enemy.

Once all the nobles were seated, the parade organized by William and Ferdinand I began.

I saw William, who was sitting in the center of the viewing platform, raised his right hand and waved it downward, and suddenly the dozens of military trumpeters who had stopped once again sounded the sound of passionate military music.

Knock knock... Knock knock knock...

Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of drums, William's 500 heavy cavalry of the Guards were the first to appear, wearing sturdy full-body plate armor, holding a six-meter-long vermilion cavalry spear in their hands, holding a cavalry kite-shaped shield in their left hand, and fingering the reins, walking towards the viewing platform in neat horse steps.

The sun shining from the east in the morning shone on the smooth plate mirror, which made William's cavalry shine as if it were coming from the sun.
